Dreamy Phyllo Apple Strudel – The Healthier Kind!

I always have phyllo dough in the freezer, just in case I crave something indulging! In the past, I would use puff pastry for many of my baking. But ever since I started my healthier journey, I decided that that I would no longer buy puff pastry anymore. Thanks to the humble and versatile phyllo dough, I’m able to mimic childhood delights without the guilt, and without the unnecessary amounts of oils and ingredients our body doesn’t need.
This healthy and so delicious apple strudel is perfect for hosting, or for taking advantage of apples that are looking a little tired and needs some love and attention. I take the phyllo out of the freezer the night before, and then in the morning I use if for what ever I’m in the mood for, and today it was the apple strudel!

Ingredients:

Yields 2 big rolls

1 bag of defrosted phyllo dough (see notes)

8-10 apples of choice
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/3 cup raw walnuts
1/2 lemon, squeezed
1/3 cup raw brown or coconut sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon
1/3 cup water
2 tbsp corn starch

Hello friends welcome back to my channel this is Batel from Batel kitchen and today I am beyond excited to be sharing with you one of my childhood favorite recipes of all times we’re going to be making apple strudel just like my mom used to make for us the only thing is

That we’re going to make it a little bit healthier so the regular apple strudle is usually made with puff pastry dough I have not used puff pastry in so many years now maybe 15 years I do not bring it to my house I do love Pa pastry but I

Choose not to eat it so what I use instead is a f dough the reason I love using pH dough is because you can definitely control the amount of oils you’re going to put inside the dough it can be completely healthy if you use it the proper way another reason I love

Fough is because it is extremely versatile you can use it for sweets you can use it for saory dishes you can do really many many things with that and today we’re going to be making the Apple strudle it is going to be so comforting so delicious the smell in the house is

Going to be insane I absolutely love desserts with apples and I hope that you do too okay guys let’s get started all the measurements are going to be in the description box below or on my website buts kitchen.com okay let’s get Started to begin we’re going to peek our apples I actually don’t have rules when it comes to these apples I just use whatever I have on hand and whatever I have sitting in the fridge so we’re just going to peel them and then we’re going to dice them my technique to dice these

Apples is very easy I like to to take my knife and run it through four sides of the apple and this way it is very easy to be left only with the core and scoop it out we are going to dice these apples to an equal size shape about half an

Inch thick and we’re going to transfer them to a pen once we have all those cut apples inside the pen I’m going to sprinkle a little bit of brown raw sugar a little bit of golden raisins which are optional and a lot of cinnamon I’m also

Going to drizzle a tiny bit of water just to help everything steam up once we put it on the stove and a little squeeze of lemon to brighten all the flavors so we are going to put it on the stove on medium low heat and I like to get them a

Little bit softened before I actually place them inside the fer dough so we’re going to give them a good mix and while they’re starting to warm up we’re going to chop up some walnuts I also cover the pot in order to help the steam get faster so the walnuts should not be too

Small or too big they need to be crunchy but not too overwhelming we’re going to open the lead of the pot and then we’re going to notice that we have a lot of liquids coming out of those apples both from the apples themselves and also from

The water that we added in order to help the steam so in order to thicken this apple mixture we’re going to add a little bit of corn starch this is going to give us a really nice texture and make sure that the apples are not oozing

Outside of the fow dough coming down to the fow dough we’re going to take about two to three fow sheets at a time and then we’re going to spray them with a little bit of avocado oil you can use avocado oil or or coconut oil it is

Easier to use a spray because this way you can control the amount of oil that you’re going to put on each sheet now notice that the fow sheets are placed on a parment paper this is going to help us roll everything in the most neat and Perfection way so now we’re going to

Load all these apples on the side of the fow sheet and we are going to roll it up just like sushi so just imagine that the uh parament paper is as the wood that we’re using for sushi so we are going to roll it and then scoop out the parment

Paper it is easy to see it and follow the directions just the way you see it on the video so once we have all these dough rolled up we’re going to take out all the parment paper and then we’re going to be left out only with the roll of the

Strudle we’re going to place it sit on a baking sheet lined with paramin paper and now we’re going to repeat the same steps we’re going to take a few sheets at a time of fow dough spray it with oil and then we’re going to add a few more

Sheets on top and then a little bit more oil until we finish all the pho sheets now we’re going to put our apples and then we’re going to start to roll everything just like a sushi roll using our paramin paper in order to help us get the most perfect roll

So we’re going to take our time to roll everything and make sure that everything is spread throughout the fow sheets and once we have that ready as well we’re going to transfer it to the baking sheet as well if you feel like the rolls are

Too big feel free to cut them in half so once we have all these rolls sitting on the parment paper you can take the extra step and score into them now we’re going to take our oil spray and spray each each one in order to help the almonds

Stick into the fillow we’re also going to take a tiny bit drizzle of honey and drizzle it on top to help the almonds stick to the fow and also to get this really nice golden brown color we’re going to bake it until it is golden brown and crispy and crunchy and

Delicious and the whole house smells absolutely amazing and then once they’ve cooled off we’re going to transfer them to a serving dish or to whatever way you want to serve it it is completely optional but you can sprinkle them with a little bit of confectioner sugar I actually took a

Sugar replacement and placed it on my blender in order to get this fine powder and there you have it we are ready to serve this apple strudle this apple strudle is so inviting it is absolutely delicious every bite is just a party it is belly warming and the

Textures are absolutely amazing we have this crunch from the walnuts and we have this chewi from the raisins and we have the creaminess from the apples and we have the most amazing texture from the pH dough itself this dessert really takes no time to prepare I always always

Have phow dough sitting in my freezer and if I feel like I want to do something I just let it def froze a little bit before or the night before and you can always pull out a really healthy and delicious dessert that is guilt-free and that is so inviting I
